Message: [QUOTE="Highwayman, post: 3129190, member: 1997"] I have a very easy fix to this problem. It has become clear that the ref now has in his hands the power to directly decide the outcome in an otherwise even contest. Or even turn it around when one side is being dominated and is 18-0 down. Before, when penalties were blown, there was a pause, time for replays, time for really bad calls to get scrutinized. Now it just happens so quickly that they can give a phantom penalty without even time for a captain's challenge. Solution: it's not six again, it's a free tackle. For minor infringements. ONE free tackle. If it's third tackle, infringement happens, wave the arm, "FREE TACKLE, STILL THE THIRD". Problem solved. But maybe they want refs to decide outcomes along lines of profitability and marketability. Not to mention good old gambling interests (legal or otherwise) having a say. [/QUOTE]
